In the past nine months, the Black Star Mercenary's history had increased by quite a bit.
With the players as his combat strength, he did not lose any manpower and could even maximize his gains. It was very convenient. In the past nine months, he had only done cooperative missions and kept a low profile, earning quite a lot of money.
His savings had reached 784,000 Enas. Other than buying some materials, metals, and parts to build new machines, he had saved the rest to complete his Class Advancement mission. With so much money, buying one High-End Knowledge was not a problem, but two would be a little difficult.
According to the standards of galactic mercenaries, the missions on Planet Dawn were very simple, so the reward was naturally not high. However, he did not accept this mission just for the reward.
Because Han Xiao was preparing to find out more about the Mutation Disaster on Planet Dawn, he had let the spaceship that was hovering outside the atmosphere of Planet Dawn leave first during the day. He had hitched a ride there. It was good to have more partners. Traveling was free, and it was even better than Didi Da spaceship.
The faint light from the communicator's screen shone on his face. The light and shadow were three-dimensional and unpredictable.
"It'll be the International League in a few days. Once we're done here, let's bring the team back to Juberly Hub. Three months ago … Well, that's more than two weeks ago for the players, the Tournament Alliance released the rules for the first International Finals. They said that the shop had set up a Gathering Crystal that was specially bought for the shortlisted players from various countries. The effect was similar to the Dungeon Crystal. The players would gather from each planet to a simulated competition venue, and the competition would be broadcasted live."
The format of the first competition was the same as in his previous life. After the players were able to travel through space, the International Competition would be held in a real environment. The stage would then become planets and star systems.
The players from these Chinese clubs had followed him for a year, and they had earned a lot of money. They were equipped with powerful equipment, and they would definitely perform better in the International Tournament than in his previous life. In his previous life, the Chinese clubs' performance in the first tournament was quite infuriating. They didn't play the game until it was time, and they were stuck in a stalemate. In order to prevent the public from blaming them, their tactics were basically dragged out and cowardly. Sometimes, they would be able to exhaust the enemy to death, and sometimes, they would still lose after exhausting the enemy for half a day. It made the spectators feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.
In the end, when the Chinese teams' matches were broadcasted, the viewership ratings were very low. The players preferred to watch the passionate fights between the gays and foreigners, and when they encountered the Chinese teams' counterattacks, they would directly skip the counterattacks. Although the Chinese clubs' rankings in the first tournament were passable, they didn't have any outstanding performances. The first impression that they left on the world was that they were good at counterattacking.
"If they don't become more ferocious this time, they would have followed me for nothing."
Han Xiao curled his lips.
"After the International League, it will be almost time for the version update. The players will temporarily disappear, and the benefits of accepting mercenaries won't be high anymore. At that time, I won't be a mercenary. Small teams will be more flexible, and I can make some preparations for the Mutation Disaster in Year 20. I need to come up with a plan, and at the same time, I can also trick some main character type characters to increase my staff …"
While thinking, Han Xiao suddenly felt a slight anomaly. His eyes flashed, and he stood up and walked out of the tent. The surroundings were silent. He looked around and was slightly stunned.
The prison carriage in the middle of the camp was empty. Rezar was nowhere to be found, and the guards around him were also gone.
"Escaped?"
He didn't want anything to go wrong with the mission. He changed into his mechanical suit and scanned with the radar. He discovered that Rezar's signal was in a small forest outside the camp, and there were more than ten soldiers' signals beside him. Not far away, there was a single signal that was much stronger than the soldiers'. After checking the database, it was actually the commander of the Knights, Rex.
"The other soldiers are all asleep. Why did they kidnap Rezar and bring him to the small forest at night? F * ck, it can't be … "
Han Xiao took in a deep breath.
That was an old man!
He was convinced by this taste!
He walked into the forest in fear and tiptoed, ready to turn and run at any moment before he saw anything unclean. He turned on his night vision mode and carefully looked at the scene in the forest.
Rezar was tied up tightly with chains that suppressed magic. A few knights surrounded him, holding steel swords.
Their lips were moving as if they were saying something. Han Xiao turned up the sound collection function of his combat suit and heard their conversation.
"I'll ask you one last time. Where did you get the ritual method?"
"I found a stone tablet in the ruins of an ancient underground city. The incomplete ritual method was written on it. I used blood as the power to change the spell. How many times do you want me to say it?"
"Who else knows about this spell?"
"Not a single one. After I memorized the spell, I destroyed the stone tablet. Do you think I would tell others about such a dangerous spell? It's only safe in my hands."
Rezar had an impatient expression as he answered the knight who asked the question in front of him.
This knight rubbed his hands and suppressed his excitement in his tone. "How about this, let's make a deal. You tell me the ritual method, and I'll let you go. To tell you the truth, I'm also very interested in the higher world … hehe."
Rezar's eyes lit up as if he had grabbed onto his last life-saving straw.
Haha, there's always a way out!
Immediately after, Rezar thought for a while, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. From his perspective, he felt that if he told them the method, these people would definitely kill him. He secretly raised his guard and asked, "How do I believe that you're not trying to trick me into telling you the spell?"
The knight in front of him said, "We're the guards on duty at this time. If you die, it'll be very easy to track us down."
"Then, you're not afraid that I'll kill you after I escape?" Rezar narrowed his eyes.
"Humph, do you dare? Once there's a magic wave, those mercenaries from the higher world will come and finish you off."
"Then, if I run, won't you be tracked down too?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that."
"What if you immediately call for help after you let me go?"
"Then, you can rat us out."
After this conversation, Rezar gradually believed that these knights did want to make a deal with him. His tense nerves relaxed a little. His attention was on arguing with the knight in front of him, so he did not notice that the knights behind him quietly raised their steel swords and aimed at his vital parts.
Even if Rezar was Grade B, his life would still be in danger if he was pierced by a steel sword while his ability was suppressed.
Han Xiao secretly observed, and his eyes flashed. He originally thought that these knights were after Rezar's spell, and the deal was almost done. Why did they suddenly want to kill him?
Seeing that these knights were about to make a move, Han Xiao thought for a while and walked out.
Hearing the footsteps, everyone present suddenly turned around. When they saw who it was, they were all shocked.
Rezar's expression changed drastically. Why is it you again?
If the conversation just now had been heard, the fire of hope that had been raised with much difficulty would have been extinguished by a piss.
Han Xiao glanced around and realized that although these knights were shocked, they did not panic because their private deal was exposed.
"What's going on?" Han Xiao decided to ask first.
"You … you heard it?" a knight asked carefully.
"Guess." Han Xiao's gaze landed on his steel sword.
"Kill him!"
The knight roared, turned around, and stabbed Rezar in the chest. Blood splattered everywhere.
Han Xiao's expression was weird. He thought that these knights wanted to attack him. What was going on now?
Rezar's eyes widened. Before he could react, the other knights also stabbed him with their swords. Han Xiao's figure flashed, and these knights only felt their vision blur. Their bodies flew into the air and were instantly kicked away by Han Xiao.
"Although I don't know what's going on, I'll stop you guys first."
Han Xiao glanced at Rezar. This guy was kneeling on the ground, his face pale, and he was panting heavily. Although he was a Master Mage, his Endurance was more than a hundred, so he would not die. The steel sword did not pierce deep, but it probably pierced through his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Can anyone explain?" Han Xiao glanced at the knights. Everyone pursed their lips and did not say anything.
Turning around and looking deep into the forest, Han Xiao said to the darkness, "The one hiding, they're not talking, so you explain it to me."
Approaching footsteps sounded in the forest. Rex, who had been hiding at the side for a long time, walked out with a serious expression. When Han Xiao appeared, he knew that he could not hide anymore.
Taking a deep breath, Rex slowly said, "These knights are my trusted subordinates. I arranged for them to be on duty together. I brought him here to kill Rezar."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you already capture him? Why do you still need to assassinate him? You can just kill him openly."
Rex shook his head. "The king wants me to capture him alive, put him in jail for a public trial, and put him in jail. Captain Black Star, you're not from our kingdom, so I'll be honest with you. For a criminal like Rezar who has ascended level, the kingdom's upper echelons will very likely hand him over to Godora's emissary in exchange for something. This way, Rezar will live and go to the higher world as he wished. I don't want to give someone like him who almost killed millions of citizens for his own selfish reasons!
"Also, Rezar knows the ritual to absorb the Origin Water. Maybe someone in the kingdom has selfish motives and will force him to tell us the ritual spell and let him live. This kind of terrifying spell has the risk of spreading. Once this happens, there will be a similar crisis. Therefore, even if I have to disobey the king's orders, I cannot let him reach the capital alive!
As long as I kill him like this, I can use the excuse that Rezar escaped and was killed by us. Captain Black Star, I'm very grateful for your timely help, but this is our kingdom's matter. Please don't interfere. "
Rex's tone was stern. Although he knew that he was no match for Han Xiao, he had no intention of backing down.
Han Xiao was enlightened.
Oh, so that's how it is. The deal is a trick to distract Rezar. You have some ideas.
He sized up Rex. He was so righteous and righteous. Was he another main character?
Or … did you make up an excuse long ago and put on an act in front of me?
Han Xiao's eyes turned. He pointed at Rezar and said, "Since you don't want him to go back alive, why don't you give him to me? That way, it'll be easier for you to die."
"What do you want him to do?" Rex frowned.
"Don't ask. Anyway, I will bring him to the galaxy … uh, the higher world, far away from you guys. I will never let him come back."
Hearing this, Rezar was overjoyed. His dream was to go to the higher world. He was already in despair, but he did not expect to see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel!
However, when he looked up, he saw Han Xiao smiling at him. There was an indescribable meaning in the smile. It was malicious and seemed to be emitting a chilling aura.
Rezar shivered for some reason. The excitement he just had quickly cooled down.
